Review of The Big Sick (2017) by Wayne M — 15 Aug 2017
The Big Sick is a rarity in today's cinema. A genuinely funny comedy that is clever and doesn't resort to cliche. It is a little joy of a film that is totally satisfying. Whip smart comedian Kumail Nanjiani has written a film with his true life wife based on their courtship with basically Kumail playing himself.
It's a unique journey as he battles the conflicts of love and family traditions. The humour is smart and gentle and there is romance there as well. The cast is great especially Romano and Hunter as the parents of his love interest.
It's refreshing to enjoy a comedy has doesn't resort to the lowest common denominator. A total pleasure of a film.
